sour orange is one of native fruits of iran, which are widely used in the food industry, medicine and cosmetics. sour orange peel is rich source of pectin and generally discarded as waste. in this research, response surface methodology (rsm) with box–behnken design was employed to optimize and to study the effects of the independent variables (temperature, time and ph) on the yield of pectin an...

in this study, functional properties of red bean, chickpea, lentil and canellini bean were evaluated. our results revealed that beans had the highest emulsifying capacity. this property was minimum at the isoelectric point (about 4) among all samples which is in concistent with their solubility curves. salt concentration of 0.5 m did not have a significant influence on emulsifying capacity but ...

Three bacterial strains of marine origin were isolated during a screening for biosurfactants among n-alkane degrading microorganisms. One strain-identified as Alcaligenes sp. MM1-produced a novel glucose lipid. In the case of Arthrobacter sp. EK 1 the well-known trehalose tetraester was found as major component. From another pure culture classified as Arthrobacter sp. SI 1, extracellular emulsi...

The supersaturatable self-emulsifying drug delivery system (S-SEDDS) represents a new thermodynamically stable formulation approach wherein it is designed to contain a reduced amount of a surfactant and a water-soluble cellulosic polymer (or other polymers) to prevent precipitation of the drug by generating and maintaining a supersaturated state in vivo. The S-SEDDS formulations can result in e...

It was observed in this laboratory that intravenous infusions of a cottonseed oil emulsion containing soybean phosphatides and Pluronie1 as emulsifying agents lowered the abnormally high serum lipid levels of patients with idiopathic hyperlipemia and primary hypercholesteremic xanthomatosis (1). It was then found that a single infusion of this emulsion given to fasting human subjects or dogs ca...

Two n-octenylsuccinate starch (AS) types of unknown molecular weights were assessed for ocular tolerance. Irritation potential of different solutions (containing 2 and 15% (w/w) AS) and AS stabilized emulsions (containing 15% (w/w) AS) was evaluated in vivo in rabbit eyes, using a confocal laser scanning microscope, and in vitro on treated excised pig corneas by light microscopy of histological...
